JL Schwieters didn’t just tweak a few rules—they rebuilt their business around safety, and the results speak louder than any sales pitch. This video dives into how their pre-operational planning and Safety Pole technology didn’t just prevent injuries—they unleashed productivity, slashed costs, and made employees line up for a spot on their crew. You’ll get an inside look at a company where risk management is more than compliance; it’s the engine of growth. Real numbers, real people, and a culture where safety isn’t just a policy—it’s the secret behind every win. For contractors, project managers, or anyone who thinks safety is just another box to tick, this case study flips the script: here, protecting workers means bigger profits, happier teams, and a business model built to last.
Safety Pole is built and refined through real-world use—on active jobsites, by crews who depend on it every day. The most meaningful improvements to our system come directly from conversations with the people using it in the field.
As part of our Rebuild. Reset. Re-Engage. initiative, we’re reconnecting with partners who are willing to share their experience—whether through direct feedback, a conversation with our team, or, when appropriate, a deeper collaboration.
For some partners, that collaboration takes the form of a case study video, an interview, or a written feature that highlights how Safety Pole is being used on real jobsites. For others, it’s simply a chance to exchange insights and help us continue improving how safety is planned, implemented, and supported.
